I have never used them before but I have a rat saw it run across the carriage house floor yesterday.

so time to learn about them.

what size do you cut wood pans to I have several 110s , I see wood pans for sale I am thinking I could easily cut some on the table saw , just wondering if one fo you has already worked out an ideal size.

In addition to wood (I used thin plywood.....like a subfloor), you can use corrugated card board or plastic yard signs.....which also have the corrugations........and just slip them on the bent trigger wires. With cardboard, you can even put some peanut butter on them so the oil soaks in as the bait. They step on it when they sniff it. The cheap stuff is easier to use, stays fixed and is disposable.

The plastic signs are great. Super light weight, and easy to make.

chloroplast , I have a partial sheet , I can use that , thanks
even easier than dragging out the table saw

I have used all 3 kinds. Barkers which are metal and crimp on. Chloroplast or election signs are free but need to be replaced now and then. And the trapping store wood kind. I prefer the wood store bought ones over all the others. I use them for marten. They will catch ermine and squirrels easily.

Slide the wood one over the wires and give the end a little bend. That will hold it on for years. Boil and dye like normal with wood pans ON the traps. Metal is the same. Chlorplast, you must take them all off and put them back on. They won't survive the dye pot.

I made some with doubled up 1/4" hardware cloth, I'd use political signs now...

The best pans I’ve seen and personally used are those from somewhere called yooper trapper or something like that.
I picked up a few of those a few years ago at a convention and I was impressed..
It really opens up a body grip… I’ll try to take a few pics when I get home from work if I remember.
They are made to fit 110,120, 160 size bodygrips

I order the wood ones with the holes drilled for the stock trigger wires. Poke em through, cut em off, bend em over to lock em on.

I'm sure you can make them yourself cheaper.

Work good for marten and fisher on 155s. Ermine are about 50-50 on sneaking around or over.
